Weekend tips in Central Sweden

Central Sweden is the land between the major cities – the manors and castles of the Mälardalen region, the industrial towns of Bergslagen, and the forests and lakes of Värmland. Here you will find many of Sweden's most historic manors, often by the water and with spas, good food, and golf nearby, and most can be reached within a couple of hours from Stockholm, Gothenburg, or Oslo.

On this page, we gather tips on hotels, spas, and weekend experiences in Central Sweden – for those who want to get away from the city without traveling far and experience the tranquility by a lake or in an old manor park.
